Fluidampr 800191 6.2L & 6.5L GM/AMG 82-93 Diesel Harmonic Balancer

Overview

The Fluidampr 800191 is a high-performance replacement viscous diesel crankshaft damper engineered as a superior 6.2 diesel harmonic balancer and 6.5 diesel harmonic balancer for 1982 to 1993 engines. Designed for Chevrolet, GMC, AM General, and other GM vehicles with mechanical fuel pumps, this damper is critical for protecting your 6.2L or 6.5L diesel engine by minimizing torsional vibrations, reducing engine wear, and unleashing lost torque and horsepower.

Key Features & Benefits

• Optimal Vibration Control:
  This Fluidampr 800191 continuously self-tunes in real time to effectively dampen torsional vibrations across the entire RPM range.
• Enhanced Engine Performance:
  By reducing parasitic power loss and minimizing wear on the main bearings and timing gears, it boosts horsepower, torque, and fuel efficiency.
• Durable Construction:
  Constructed from high-quality steel and coated with a Black Zinc finish, the damper features an 8-inch outside diameter and weighs 23 pounds.
• Precision Design:
  With external timing/degree marks at 90°, 180°, and 270°, this externally balanced damper is engineered for ease of installation and precise alignment.
• OEM Quality:
  Manufactured in an ISO 9001-accredited facility in the USA, this damper is built to last and is a trusted upgrade over stock rubber-based dampers.

Applications

The Fluidampr 800191 is designed for:

• 1982 to 1993 Chevrolet and GMC C/K series trucks
